Major 9th arpeggios are built by stacking a major third (from the root A to the third C-sharp), followed by a minor third (from C-sharp to the fifth E), a major third (from E to the seventh G-sharp) and a minor third (from G-sharp to the ninth B). This structure corresponds exactly to the maj9 chords often found in jazz and pop.
